This weekend I spent some time working on the electronics. I spent a loooooooong time trying to get the Syren 10A controller to work, but it seems to be a lost cause. I had planned to hook it up to the dome motor and control dome rotation, and maybe at some point that will happen, but for now I have the dome motor being controlled by a Sabertooth 2x12. The controls are through a C6C from cheap control systems, and is currently being controlled with a Playstation controller (wired controller, the wireless controller I have didn't work).
I also worked on my Teeces v3.0 lights some more. They seem to work fairly well with a good solid 5v from the bench power supply, but on battery they get a bit flaky. I still had no luck in updating the sketch to v3.1 on the Arduino that came with it. I ordered a new Arduino to do some playing with, and to hopefully figure out what I'm doing wrong.
If I can get the right screws/bolts today I will have the dome motor mounted. I can't wait to have the dome rotating and the lights working reliably. This will be a huge part of the electronics finished.
